Inscription
{Round plaque:}
Upon this site formerly stood the Palace of Richmond, built by Henry VII in 1501. A royal residence first occupied this site in 1126.
{Rectangular plaque:}
In the 1740s the 3rd Earl of Cholmondeley built a house on this site.
In 1780, the house was bought and enlarged by the 4th Duke of Queensberry who entertained here in grand style. The Prince Regent was a frequent visitor.
In 1830 Sir William Dundas built the next Queensberry House which survived until 1933 when the present flats replaced it.
This history was researched by Roy Price CB (1916 - 2005) a resident here.
